You don’t know what burn-in means then. All screens degrade when they’re on… that isn’t what we’re talking about

It would. Do you know why burn in occurs? It’s because the oled pixels are organic and degrade with use. So the pixels are degrading the moment you they’re on, whether you have a static image on or not.
The colors of oled pixels also degrade at different rates too.

Shellrus is great, i had it on my 13 Pro Max and now it’s on my 14 Pro. It’s the only screen protector I have found that gets the closest to the edge of the phone. I don’t use a case on my phones so it looks like I don’t have a screen protector on which I love!

The AirPods get their position from your IPhones GPS.
Contact the owner of the establishment and tell them of you situation, ask them if they might have already found them.
If not, return when they have opened.

Reply to Eye strain with iPhone 13s/14s? by Cookyjar
I had eye strain and migraines when I first got my 12 mini. I played around with various settings but the cure was turning off the needs attention and Face ID features - turns out I'm sensitive to the infrared they use

Absolutely! Besides the XR and the 11 are pretty much the same phone so I see why you would forget about the XR. Happy Holidays!

How would a moving image (non-static) burn a screen? Asking for a friend

if you are gonna watch videos on tiktok for so long better put your brightness at the lowest to avoid sunburn on the screen display, just an advice.

Well yes. I have someone who installs the screen protector for me, so installation isn't much of a problem.

Protip, use tiktok dark mode to avoid burn in on OLED screens. You only have to worry about this on every notched iPhone expect the iPhone 11 *and iPhone XR as the others have OLED screens.
It can still happen on non oled screens but by playing a simple “fix stuck pixels” or “fix screen retention” video playing at full brightness for half an hour, you can fix it.
This particular phone is an iPhone XS, which has an OLED screen. That is going to be there forever… (or at least until you replace the screen)
There do exist ways to “fix” OLED burn in and that is by equally burning out all of the pixels around it.
Really, it’s more like fizzling out.
“Fixing” burn in on an OLED screen will almost always leave some remanence of burn in. It will also make the peak brightness a lot darker because it’s making all of the other perfectly working pixels around the burnt in pixels the same brightness basically.
Tell me if I can explain anything better or I’ve messed something up. This is all off of the top of my head and it’s 3am so I’ll edit this to correct any mistakes I have made. Re-reading it now reveals no errors, grammatically or logically.
TL; DR
You’re stuck with burn in forever. Get a screen replacement

That’s not right. Burn-in is not exact term which should be used here, instead we should call it burn-out. This accumulates over time. It does not matter if you watch pornhub 4h in a row every 4th day or you watch it 1h per day in a period of 4 days. The effect is the same.

Screen retention is what you call “burn in” on non oled screens. It can be solved with a video made to fix image retention playing at 100% brightness for half an hour.

It works only when the app is running right, or does it stay at the top of DI when app is not running?
